The Foglia pendant lamp shade features hand-marbled paper crafted through a centuries-old technique, where paints and oils are dropped onto thickened water, then raked and stretched into distinctive patterns. Each sheet is individually laid onto the surface and lifted, ensuring no two shades carry the same design. The marbling process produces bold, layered colour across the green tones of the Foglia pattern on this 18cm shade.
The marbling of paper is a craft that dates back hundreds of years, and it is fascinating to watch. Paints and oils are carefully dropped onto a thickened water, and are then raked and stretched to create the pattern. The paper is then slowly laid on top and once imprinted removed from the liquid and dried. No two pieces of paper can ever be the same. We are thrilled with these patterns - bold and brilliant.
